FPV/key chain cam

I finally got the chance to test out the key chain cam I bought for $1 on ebay. (well, around $11 after shipping... plus I had to buy a micro SD card for around $20)

For it's inaugural test run, I attached it to the wing of Ryan Luna's brand new D8 ebuggy. It was held on with a bit of servo tape, as well as wrapped with electrical tape. The secret to getting good onboard video with any camera, is to make sure there is no shaking or vibrating of the camera. Here's how it looked:

It's also great for recording your race from your point of view. Here's a clip of what it looks like when I attached it to my hat:

Pretty slick!
